The first one was a successful buyback for many reasons, but mainly body damage. The second one is of much better quality with no issues. It's the one I've had since February.

Just curious. What handling issue are you trying to address with this stiffer front bar? Adding front roll stiffness will increase understeer.

6% of '17 model SS's have been 1LE's. You can do the math to figure out how many that is. I don't have any more details, ex. colors, V6's, etc.

Yes, that's correct. From top of tread to bottom of the groove is 4.5 to 5.5 mm. So from top of tread to the top of wear bar would be 4.5 ~ 5.5 - 2 = 2.5 ~ 3.5mm.
